Ensure your pay systems are fair and equitable.


Employers need the proper education and training on pay equity principles and procedures to ensure they conform to Ontario’s Pay Equity Act.

This two-day certificate program provides HR leaders with the knowledge to build proper pay systems; the factors related to gender discrimination; plus the law and pay equity compliance procedures. Through legal and historical context you will come out of the certificate being able to design a pay system that it is in compliance with pay equity law.

<  Design a fair and equitable pay system.

<  Identify and understand the historical and legal context of pay equity.

<  Apply relevant theories to analyze gender pay discrimination.

<  Devise a compensation system that is in compliance with the pay equity act.

Please be advised that this program is designed to address the Ontario Pay Equity Act. Presenters might touch upon the new federal legislation but will not discuss the Federal Pay Equity Act in depth. Please consider this information before registering.
